RE: Commenting on My Blog and Other Sites
Unfortunately I don't get to go through comments on this blog everyday but I try to weekly and reply when someone asks a question or make an interesting point.
I welcome comments and emails from readers but I draw the line at comments that are rude to other commenters just for the sake of being rude. Calling someone a name is just plain mean and not necessary. There's no reason people can't disagree with each other and still respect and be civil to each other.
A commenter, Anonymous, on a post I wrote about Registries Not Being Greedy didn't like that a commenter thought that she received crappy/bad gifts from guests who didn't use her wedding registry. There's nothing wrong with disagreeing but to call the commenter a "brat" and wish that her "marriage fails" is unnecessary and obnoxious and rude. Plus, if you're going to have the balls to write something negative to or about someone at least have the balls to put your name on it. Which is a personal beef I have with the Internet.
I think it's disgusting that people feel that they can act their worst because they can use the username "Anonymous" or a fake name and hide behind the screen.
I didn't delete the comment because I was hoping that you will go to the post and read the comment - it's the second Anonymous - and in the future when you write a comment on a post on this or any website think about your words before you type and click ok/send. Remember that there is a person on the other end of that post/comment you are commenting on and think about what you would say to that person's face if you had the chance. Would you be rude and mean? Would you say what you're writing? Would you wear a mask to hide who you are and say mean things? And how would you like it if those things were said to you?
Just something to think about.
